Test Post

Jul 15th, 2013

This is a test post to see if Octopress is suitable for my purposes. Conclusion: yes. There’s nothing here for general consumption, but I’ve left this page up in the offchance you’re wondering if Octopress is for you.

YouTube videos

You can more or less just paste the YouTube embed line directly into the markdown file. I needed to add ‘http:’ to the URL supplied by YouTube. Adding ?rel=0&vq=hd1080 to the end of the URL will prevent it from showing related video suggestions at the end and make it play in HD.

Images

Images should be placed in the octopress/source/images directory. A link path looks like /images/2013-07-15_oblique_angle_test/00-animated.gif. When the site is generated, they’ll end up in the octopress/public/images directory.
